Dear ,
Power Electronics for Green Hydrogen
A free PELS Distinguished Lecturer webinar, co-sponsored with the Connecticut IEEE Power Electronics Society (CT PELS).
The Princeton/Philadelphia IEEE PELS/IAS Chapter (PPPEAC) is proud to co-sponsor a PELS Distinguished Lecturer webinar with our neighbors at CT PELS.
Electrolyzers turn electricity and water into hydrogen — but the electricity has to get there first, through AC–DC rectifiers, DC–DC converters, and grid-interfacing inverters. How those converters are designed and controlled decides how much of the grid’s energy actually ends up in the hydrogen. This talk digs into that chain end to end.

The Talk
Power Electronics as a Key Enabler for High-Efficiency Green Hydrogen Production
The global transition toward a carbon-neutral energy ecosystem has positioned green hydrogen as a cornerstone technology for deep decarbonization across industry, transportation, and power systems. While water electrolysis powered by renewable energy sources offers a sustainable hydrogen pathway, its large-scale and cost-effective deployment critically depends on advanced power electronics converters capable of managing the variability and intermittency of renewable energy.
This lecture examines the fundamental and practical role of power electronics in enabling efficient, reliable, and economically viable green hydrogen production. It explores converter topologies — AC–DC rectifiers, DC–DC converters, and grid-interfacing inverters — and their impact on electrolyzer performance, system efficiency, power quality, and reliability. Advanced control and modulation strategies are discussed to address grid integration challenges, improve dynamic response, and extend electrolyzer lifetime. The lecture also evaluates techno-economic considerations, environmental benefits, and industrial case studies from large-scale green hydrogen installations, providing valuable insight into real-world implementation.
